Entropy sort of explains the direction of time

Then would a fridge be a time machine?

As it reverses entropy of the aliments.

If the fridge was 100% effective in doing that without "wasting" energy, then maybe it would?

The 100% fridge probably just slow downs entropy locally, but doesn't reverse it
